Hey! Nice to see a fellow Mint user. I finally made the switch from Windows a couple of months back, and oh man did they make a great distro! It's so nice that everything just works right out of the box.
I've been absolutely loving a couple of the Button Shy games at the moment! They're really nice because I can just slip them into my work bag and play them at lunch. In particular, I've been playing a fair bit of Sprawlopolis and Food Chain Island, both of which are really great solo games.
With other people, I've been playing a whole lot of Spirit Island, which is probably one of my all-time favorites. The amount of diversity in how each of the spirits play is mind-boggling and makes every game feel very different. My regular play-group is also getting pretty excited for the new expansion that's coming out in the next couple of months.
There's one at [email protected]! It's pretty small at the moment, but hey-- so is everything else around here. :P
Seconding Spirit Island. It's quite possibly one of my favorite board games of all time (and a huge favorite in my regular play-group)!
Even in the base game, the amount of diversity in play styles between the spirits is incredible. It's absolutely a game that I could keep playing indefinitely and continue to discover new things.
